OPERATION
After mixing and thinning the paint, fill the paint jar no more than about 2/3
full. Attach the jar to the airbrush, turn the compressed air on, and depress the
trigger. Test on an old newspaper or similar and make any necessary spray
adjustments before spraying the workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE PAINT FLOW
Paint flow and spray pattern are adjusted by turning the air cap at the tip of
the airbrush. Paint flow is also affected by the amount the trigger is pulled
back.
The air cap is fully closed when it has been turned fully clockwise. Using the
thumb and forefinger, turn the air cap anti-clockwise to obtain various
degrees of paint flow.
Also check the adjustment of the needle sleeve which can also effect paint
flow when screwed in and out. Maximum flow will be attained by turning the
needle sleeve assembly approximately two full turns anti-clockwise.
Pull back on the trigger to obtain more paint and a wider coverage.
PAINTING PROCEDURES
1. Prepare the workpiece, masking off any areas not to be painted, (ensuring
the workpiece is clean and free of dust, grease etc).
2. Hold the nozzle of the airbrush about 6” from the surface being sprayed.
Use short strokes, moving steadily and parallel to the surface.
3. Spray several light coats, allowing each coat to dry before adding the next
until the desired coverage is achieved.
